      <p class="trend-text sety "  >
  Japan's SoftBank Group said on Tuesday that it has sold all of its shares in Nvidia, bringing in $5.8 billion. This is part of the company's move toward investing more in artificial intelligence, with a focus on OpenAI. The sale in October marks a big change in strategy for the Tokyo-based company, which is changing its tech portfolio to meet the growing demand for artificial intelligence.
    </p>
        <p class="trend-text sety" >
     SoftBank also had a great first half of its fiscal year, with revenue rising by about 8% to 3.7 trillion yen ($24 billion) and profit rising to 2.5 trillion yen (around $13 billion). A big part of the increase came from gains in its Vision Funds, which own stakes in fast-growing tech companies that have made money from the global rollout of AI.
    </p>
    <p class="trend-text sety" >
     Masayoshi Son, the chairman of SoftBank, says that AI will be in charge of the company's future. His goals were big enough that earlier this year he teamed up with Donald Trump, Larry Ellison (the founder of Oracle), and Sam Altman (the CEO of OpenAI) to support the $500 billion AI project Stargate. Son believes that selling the Nvidia investment would be the best way for SoftBank to move money into OpenAI-related projects.

        </p>
    </div>
  <p class="trend-text sety" >
  SoftBank still has a close relationship with Nvidia even though it sold its stake in the company. This is because other businesses in its portfolio rely on Nvidia processors. Nvidia recently became the first $5 trillion business in history. This is because it is the leader in AI processors and made a $100 billion deal with OpenAI to make data centers around the world bigger.

     <h2 class="post-heading">SoftBank’s AI Pivot Gains Momentum as Investors React to Nvidia Sale</h2>
     <p class="trend-text sety loco">
        SoftBank's move to artificial intelligence has sparked more interest from investors. This supports the idea that the company is entering a new phase of growth under Chairman Masayoshi Son's updated AI-first vision. As traders bought into the company's plan to use the profits from Nvidia's big stock boom to invest in next-generation technology, the company's shares, which have almost doubled in value over the past year, went up another 2% on Tuesday.
    </p>
        <p class="trend-text sety">
          Market analysts say that it now makes sense to sell the Nvidia stock. Nvidia's stock has skyrocketed to levels never seen before since there has been a huge increase in demand for AI chips.  SoftBank was one of the first big investors in AI infrastructure. Now, they are getting ready for the next wave of AI deployment, which will include huge data centers and training models on platforms.
        </p>

        <p class="trend-text sety">
         Analysts said that the move not only helps SoftBank make more money, but it also lowers the company's concentration risk at a time when the AI field is becoming more competitive.   SoftBank has a lot of exposure to the entire AI supply chain, from cloud computing to chip design, thanks to its investments in Arm Holdings, TSMC, and other startups through the Vision Fund.
        </p>
        <p class="trend-text sety">
          People think that SoftBank's next steps, like working with OpenAI on the proposed Stargate AI project and starting new AI services in Japan, will have an effect on the company's direction over the next ten years. Analysts and investors agree that this is going to be one of the most ambitious times for the business.
